£20.51
The ABB S201-C16 is a premium single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the renowned ABB System pro M compact S200 range. Designed to provide reliable protection against overloads and short circuits, it combines advanced thermal-magnetic tripping technology with a compact DIN rail mounted design, making it suitable for residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations.
With a 16 A rated current and a Type C tripping characteristic, the S201-C16 is ideal for circuits supplying equipment with moderate inrush currents, including motors, pumps, transformers, air conditioning equipment and other inductive loads. Its current-limiting design helps minimise damage caused by electrical faults while maintaining excellent system reliability.
Complying with IEC/EN 60898-1, IEC/EN 60947-2 and UL 1077, the ABB S201-C16 delivers a 6 kA rated short-circuit breaking capacity and is fully compatible with the extensive range of ABB System pro M compact accessories for flexible installation and expansion.
The ABB S201-C16 combines thermal overload protection with rapid electromagnetic short-circuit protection to ensure dependable operation under fault conditions. The Type C tripping curve allows the breaker to tolerate the moderate inrush currents commonly associated with inductive loads whilst providing fast disconnection during genuine fault conditions.
As part of the ABB System pro M compact range, the S201-C16 can be combined with auxiliary contacts, signalling devices and busbar systems, providing flexible solutions for installers, panel builders and maintenance engineers across a wide variety of applications.
